Pictures from my Phone & Weekly Distractions

So last night I went to Wendy's at 11:00 PM because last I checked this is still America and I can do what I want STOP JUDGING ME. I went through the drivethrough because obviously I wasn't wearing pants or shoes and when I got to the window the man handed me a bag with 12 hamburgers in it which was crazy because I only ordered three STOP JUDGING ME.

He said that they just made a whole bunch and they didn't want to throw them out so they were giving them to me and I screamed "THANK YOU" like I just won the lottery but then as I was pulling away I realized that I didn't know what I was going to do with the 9 burgers I didn't order (ok let's be honest, the 7 burgers). And I also didn't want to throw them away because Bob and Cathie raised me in the great depression and one should never throw any food away so then I drove around in the snow looking for homeless people to give them to, and as I stepped out of my car, pantsless and shoeless, to do so, I kept feeling the need to explain to everyone that Wendy's gave me these for free because I didn't want unearned credit for good deeds, but mostly everyone just seemed interested in the fact that I wasn't wearing pants and then one man (whom I actually know) asked me if I wanted one of his blankets.

So yeah. I'm not sure whether I did any good last night. But I did eat 8 hamburgers right before bed.

And now, your Pictures & Distractions:

Mr. Pants, just as we brought out the stuffing.

The first time in my life I have made a pie that my family didn't mock.

My Christmas village is on point.

Stranger Picture of the Week

From Mary + Spence, who sent us a picture of Mr. Pants's twin, Olive. Also, please everyone post pictures of your pets on Imzy ASAP. You have no idea how happy it will make me. I need to know your animals. This is not a drill.

So PAPP was all the rage when I was in Singapore. You can even buy pens with apples and pineapples on the ends. Its just so mesmerizing. Thankfully I don't know if it is all the rage here in Taiwan as I don't speak Mandarin and well, I don't know anyone....yet.....

I commented on the article Eli (and I was shocked that I was evidently the first to do so) about how you were the illegitimate love child of Flo and Fidel but it pulled in my FB profile and listed my profession and employer. I thought twice about leaving it there because I wasn't sure about how my employer would feel about it - I chickened out and deleted it . . . . .sorry.

Also - how do you get the edges of your crust to look like that? I'm a phenomenal pie maker but my crusts look blah.
